They did reply and said they would look into it on my behalf but then I never heard a word. Same thing happened with my citizenship application.

I received my citizenship certificate today. I collected my passport from the passport office two weeks ago so I presume that pushed Gatineau to return my certificate. Who knows. Extremely glad this whole process is all over. My MP did absolutely nothing both when I emailed them for citizenship...

Went to pick up my passport on Friday, was a bit chaotic with the Rogers outage but worked out in the end. I wonder if I’ll ever get my original citizen certificate back from Gatineau lol Happy to finally close this immigration chapter of my life. Good luck everyone still waiting!

Correct. Not needed at all.

I think getting the passport has been worse than the citizenship process if I’m honest.

I’m just home after standing in line since 5am at the downtown Toronto location asking for a transfer. All my stuff was scanned in and ready to go so they gave me a pick up date of July 8th which is two days before I travel. Original app sent April 12th to Gatineau, charged cc May 8th with a...

thank you, appreciate all the info. I'm North York too or maybe downtown Toronto, we'll see. Either works for me.

Thank you for the detail!! I will be calling for a transfer next week (10 business days before travel), is it worth skipping the phones and just heading to the passport centre? Or do they only transfer you when you have 2 days to go?

Mailed April 12th and cc charge May 8th.

I called today and after 500+ tries I got through. Was 260th in line and was on hold for over an hour but finally got to talk to someone. My application had been received and was in progress but probably won’t be ready for my travel on July 10th so he advised me to call back on the 23rd so they...

When you phone what is the indicator that you're going to be connected after language selection? Good luck to you too!

We have the exact same time line. I was going to phone tomorrow or head down to passport Canada on Friday as I travel in 3 weeks but this is a little bit of good news!

I think that's a good sign mate! Also, congrats on your World Cup qualifier!

It would appear literally everyone took a photocopy of their citizenship certificate apart from me lol well you live and you learn i suppose.

Are you a new citizen? Did you mail the certificate to them if so? What did they say about that as you no longer have the original to show them if you line up for transfer.

I don’t understand how you do this without your citizenship certificate though. I already mailed mine to Gatineau.

This is all so messed up. Which passport office did they transfer to, do you know? Good luck! I fear I will be in the same situation next week so any info you can provide once you’ve been to the office would be very much appreciated.

I emailed my MP on Friday but no reply yet. They weren't very helpful with my citizenship app so not holding out much hope.

I mailed to Gatineau on April 12th and cc was charged May 8th.

I am so stressed. If I miss my brothers wedding my mum will probably fly to Canada and kill me herself. I mailed my app 9 weeks ago tomorrow and travel in 4 weeks. I check my mail box probably 37 times a day!
